RLUIF OF LADYBMI fH•
THURSDAY last was a red-letter
day all. over the British Empire
wherever the news of the relief of
Ladysmith was made known. For
nearly four months General W:.1:1 bad
been bottled up, and ever) effort had
been made by the Boer leaders to se -
care hie eupitn atiot6, bat, backed by
etre tfatefniamd egesta of those artier
his authority, be stubbornly refused to
surrender.
When General WHITS first decided
to bold Ladysmith the armchair
odds, were very severe on him, and int
clalaed.that no worse position for de
teats maid be found in Booth Africa.
Be that ae it way, everyone today
recognizes the fact that WHITE'S stand
at Ledysmith has proved to be the
salvakio. of British interests so far as
the 0.pe is concerned. Had WHITE
attempted to retreat there is no gaes-
tion that the retreat would have de
generated into a rout, and the sa6ee-
quent rounding .p of his small army
by the Boers would have been only •
Lnatter of time.
The viotorioas Bore in that event
would have premed on to the toast,
taken possession of tbe ports and

ing of the troops from the transports

tion of the army ander Buu,ma and
boat ander Rotuma. This, which was
prosy the original plan of the Boer
ears entirely upset by the
g oad sense of WHITE in seng
Ladysmith as his fighting ground, and
in stubbornly holding the position
until relief carne.

may have been strong, but certainly
